2015-2016

The Parking and Traffic Regulations are effective August 1,

2015, and are subject to change at any time. All vehicles

operated on Tuskegee University campus by campus-

employees, students, and visitors must properly display a

current Tuskegee University parking permit. Safety violations

are enforced twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. By

registering a vehicle on campus does not guarantee a parking

space near the location where one works or attends class.

There are no valid reasons for violating the parking and traffic

regulations of Tuskegee University. The use of emergency

flashers does not authorize an individual to park illegally.

Vehicles parked in such a manner are subject to receiving

citations.

PARKING REQUIREMENTS
